QnT Diamonds & Jewels quilt blocks #1

Love it! I'll be joining. I seen a quilt made with these and simple 9 square blocks alternating like this which is what I'll be using these blocks for. :-D

Thank you @ABackwoodsLife If we get enough interest we may shorten the time between rounds or increase the number of blocks to send.

each set of four blocks should be different if at all possible

Is there a link where I can see this - I am a visual person!

I don't have a link at this time but will see about getting one...and if any one else can find one please feel free to add it. thank you!

I hope using batiks for the jewels is okay. I've got a lot of small batik pieces I could use up this way -- I'd use the jewel colors, not the pastels.

@debhous here's a visual for you:

thank you to my dear swap-bot buddie @twobluecrows for the visual and link.....you are the best!

You're so welcome--I'm always happy to help! :)

yes, batiks are fine as long as they aren't full of the "nono" colors of black, gray, browns....bright is beautiful a little white mixed in with your bright colors is ok but most of the corners must be bright jewel toned colors

the picture above shows all four corners the same WE ARE NOT DOING THAT, we are making all four corners different colors but other than that the picture above is right on

also our centers are diamond white (white on white print is fine too)

thank you! Enjoy!

Just trying to plan ahead since I don't get to the craft store often... Are the colors for the upcoming swaps for this block also going to be bright jewel tones? And white centers?

Yes, they sue are! Thank you @ABackwoodsLife for your question.

@ABackwoodsLife I love the 9 patch mixed in with this block, it makes a lovely wreath effect. I plan to do that! Thank you for sharing the link.

Thank you @perkl8r :-)

You're welcome @batitched That's what I'm going to do too.

Here's a better pic of what we are making:

beautiful @twobluecrows that is exactly what we are doing!!!!!
